Home to me is somewhere I feel safe, where my family and supporters are, where I change as a person, and also where I create great memories. I want home to be something everything I love is. Home doesn’t have to be in one place. You also don’t want your home to be something you hate. It also shouldn’t be something you don’t tell people about since it is how you grew up and became the person you did. Home should be something you are proud to talk to other people about. No one should have to hide where they came from. Home can be anywhere.
A reason I call this my home is because I want to feel safe where I am. I believe the environment around someone affects who they become as a person. An environment can be the people around you or the place around you. If I am in a “bad environment,” then I don’t know what kind of person I would become. I wouldn’t want to tell people about how bad my home was. You want a “safe environment,” so you can grow up to be the best person you can be.
Another reason why I call this my home is because home is somewhere my family and supporters are. Without “them,” I would not be the person I am. Your family also influences how you grow up. My family inspires me to be the best I can be. You should be happy when talking about your family and supporters.
The last reason why I call this my home is because home is where you make all of your memories. Those memories are how you remember your home and what you take with you when you are going to leave home. Without those memories you will forget home and how you become the person you are. Those memories will also make you a happier person when thinking about happier times. These memories could be spending time with family or having fun with friends.
All these reasons are why this is home to me. A place where I feel safe, where my family and supporters are, where I change as a person, and also where I create great memories. No one should have to hide where they came from. People should be proud of where they came from because your home influenced the person you are today. Home doesn't have to be a place, but somewhere or something you can say influenced the person you are today.
